How's things going loopychriss? You did a lot the other day

It's going well thank you. Didn't get on here yesterday because we had our disabled grandson staying Saturday night and it's impossible to get anything done with him around! Not that he's a problem, it's just he needs watching to make sure he doesn't fall or get into places he shouldn't! Still managed quite a bit of sorting of craft stuff though.

275 Reed diffuser that had no smell left
276 Pack of white card
277 Pack of glittery pom poms
278 Tablecloth with big ink stain - given to fabric friend to make bags
279 2 packs of blank card
280 About 100 mini envelopes
281 3 packs craft flowers
282 1 reel novelty tape
283 6 bottles liquid pearl paints
284 8 pots embossing powders
285 Stamping mat
286 1 of hubby's sweatshirts
287 1 of hubby's polo shirts
288 - 297 Another 10 pieces of fabric to fabric friend
298 Shower mat from £1 land that keeps curling up
299 Liquid soap dispenser
300 Empty box from wooden puzzle
301 Half a bag of golf tees (keeping other half for dolls' house use

My 'fabric friend' came round today and took a load of the fabric off my hands. She makes bags, bunting and various other bits and pieces so it's better the fabric goes to her to be made use of rather than sitting in my cupboard doing nothing. I'll be OK though, I've still got twice as much left as I gave away!

Actually feeling a lot 'lighter' now, it's amazing the effect of getting it out of the house has. Onwards and upwards - more tomorrow.

Didn't get much done over the weekend but managed to do this:
* Recycled an old suntan lotion bottle that I have used up as a hand cream
* A couple of sachets with various toiletries used up
* Sorted through the mail and recycled some of it

I am in London next weekend so won't get any decluttering done then either. Hoping to sort out some Christmas presents though.

:T Well done to all for your decluttering, keep it going

Had a wonderful week's R&R by the sea last week, a few things bought back, 2 clothing items, a book, some fabric and some alcohol so not too bad.

Out:
68 - Book taken on holiday, read & left in place we were staying
69-70 - 2 catalogues, taken, looked at & recycled there
71 - bath bomb, taken & used on holiday.
72-73 - 3 bottles of shower gel consolidated into 1
74-76 - 3 items sold and now posted

So 9 more things in October - now I need to get cracking with some fb and gumtree listings, doing a lot of volunteering this week so struggling for time in the evenings but will make a real effort.

I've also finally made progress with my crochet blanket, not really decluttering but turning piles of half done stuff into something useful.

Looks like you've all done brilliantly whilst I've been away.
